Description

Own the sunset. Perched high on the 8th floor of the Lower East Side’s most iconic condominium, Residence 8A at The Blue Condominium captures dramatic open views, endless skies, and the electric energy of downtown Manhattan, all framed by soaring, floor-to-ceiling privacy-tinted windows. Spacious and luminous, this oversized one-bedroom layout features wraparound pixelated glass and open, high-floor views from every window, showcasing skyline and Freedom Tower vistas. The well-appointed floorplan allows for distinctly separate living and dining areas, and is part of the coveted A-line collection at The Blue. Included in the sale is a 45-square-foot deeded storage unit, in addition to the home’s 786+/- square feet of interior space. This is that rare find: a meticulously cared-for home that feels almost like new construction, with high-end fixtures and appliances throughout, but at a fraction of the price. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with commercial-grade Viking appliances, quartz countertops, a glass tile backsplash, a breakfast bar, vented range, garbage disposal, and under-cabinet lighting. Dine to unforgettable sunsets every night, surrounded by one of the city’s most cinematic backdrops. The king-sized bedroom offers a serene retreat with two custom double-door closets, open skyline views, and abundant light. Between the bedroom and living space, a large foyer closet adds even more storage, located beside a separate Bosch washer and dryer closet. The windowed spa-like bathroom is finished with a Zuma deep-soaking tub, Toto toilet, and Duravit fixtures including a recessed medicine cabinet and washbasin. Additional interior features include 10-foot ceilings and bamboo floors throughout. Blue, designed in 2007 by internationally renowned architect Bernard Tschumi, is a striking 32-unit glass tower that helped redefine the Lower East Side skyline. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman and concierge, a bike room, refrigerated storage, and not one, but two expansive outdoor spaces — an 8,000 square foot landscaped roof terrace with teak lounges and a bonus second terrace for more intimate entertaining. The surrounding neighborhood is thriving with new energy and classic charm. Directly across the street you’ll find Essex Market, Trader Joe’s, Regal Cinemas, The Market Line, and destination dining at Dudley’s, The Ten Bells, and Russ & Daughters. Equinox, Target, and the neighborhood’s growing list of boutiques and galleries are all nearby. Transit is effortless with the F, M, J, and Z trains just half a block away and Midtown Manhattan reachable in under 15 minutes. Owner to pay monthly assessment ($143.36) through end of 2025. Taxes include abatement for primary residency. Some photos are virtually staged and/or enhanced. Iconic living with the Manhattan skyline as your backdrop. Discover this exceptional home at The Blue Condominium and experience all the advantages of a new-feeling residence with 24/7 doorman, without the price or size sacrifices of new construction. As one of the pioneering developments that redefined the Lower East Side, Blue now offers outstanding value compared to the area’s latest buildings. Call today to schedule your private tour.
